Then engine supplies power the things like the alternator, power steering, power brakes, wate pump, etc. via a belt or belts. The crankshaft turns and the belts make the accessories turn. By changing the size of the pullies, you can divert less power from the engine to the accessories. So more power gets to the wheels.

Are you asking what pulleys are included in the AEM package? If so, it's the alternator, and power steering pump.

If not, I have no idea what you're asking!?
